Structural engineering - explained (What is Structural Engineering ?)

This video elucidates the basic of structural engineering works and overview of roles,responsibilities , skills, perks and future of structural engineering.

(Structural engineering)

Structural engineering is core branch of civil engineering, in which structural engineers are trained, understand, Evaluate, and calculate the stability, strength and rigidity of built structures, for buildings and nonbuilding structures in order to make structure impregnable. It is the responsibility of the structural engineer to develop designs and integrate their design with that of other designers, and to supervise construction of projects on site. They can also be involved in the design of machinery, medical equipment, and vehicles where structural integrity affects functioning and safety.

( Profession )

Structural engineers are responsible for engineering design and analysis. Entry-level structural engineers may design the individual elements of a structure and that is the beams, columns, and floors of a building. More experienced engineers may be responsible for the structural design and integrity of an entire system, such as a building.
Structural engineers often specialize in particular fields, such as bridge engineering, building engineering, pipeline engineering, industrial structures, or special mechanical structures such as vehicles, ships or aircraft.

(Qualification)

Most structural-engineering jobs require at least a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Many employers, particularly those that offer engineering consulting services, also require certification as a professional engineer. A master’s degree is often required for promotion to management, and ongoing education and training are needed to keep up with advances in technology, materials, and computer hardware and software and government regulations.

(Employers)

The major employers of structural engineers include:
Engineering consultancies.
Local authorities.
Oil companies.
Railway operators
Civil Engineering contractors.
Public utility companies.
The Civil Service.

(Salary)

According to the report based on the responses of payscale salary survey Median pay for Entry-Level Structural Engineers is around $60K per year. Cash earnings of Entry-Level Structural Engineers can occasionally include $6K each in bonuses and profit sharing proceeds; this strong performance component causes pay grades to stretch from approximately $49K to almost $76K.

(Future)

The U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS) states that employment of civil engineers is projected to grow 8 percent from 2014 to 2024 about as fast as the average for all occupations. Having good grades from a highly rated institution should give a job seeker an advantage over the competition. As infrastructure continues to age, civil engineers will be needed to manage projects to rebuild bridges, repair roads, and upgrade levees and dams as well as airports and building structures of all types.
